My First Post

Yipee! After hours of laboring behind the computer my new blog has finally been born into the blogosphere! Well my blog is still not yet recognized by the blogosphere but I will do my best to write interesting stuff about my life, thoughts, experiences, and learnings as a student nurse (SN) and as a Filipino Immigrant in Canada (FIC).

I have two other blogs if you want to visit them Grim Angel and My Nurses Notes but I guess that I'll be moving to my new home here. But I'll be keeping Grim Angel though. I made this blog because I was having difficulty in maintaining a blog about my personal life and my life as an SN. Therefore I made a blog that combines both my life. That way I don't have to worry about things like what to post in the other blog and the likes.

Well as you see my blog is still in the works so it's still incomplete. But I'm hoping that I could finish the remaining parts of this blog and the rest of my website so that I could prepare inviting more people to visit my website and read my posts.

But it's time to go to bed now. I feel so sleepy already. Good night people! ^_^

Finding the Right Mortgage

When my family and I are going to move this June we're just going to rent an apartment. But sooner or later we must buy our own home because renting an apartment is okay but time will come when paying those monthly apartment bills will be too heavy and even if you want to make some improvements at your apartment, you can't because it's not yours.

That's why my family and I would need to find the right mortgages to help us buy or build our dream home. When I was surfing the web and comparing different companies that offer different kinds of mortgages, I have realized that there are several types of mortgages for different kinds of buyers with different kinds of needs. There are people who need to refinance an old mortgage, some needs to buy a new home, and others use mortgages as a home equity line (that's when you use your house as a collateral for a loan).

It would be obvious that we fall under the people who need to buy a new home but even knowing what category we fall to there are still too many numerous mortgages to choose from. That is why you'll need a service like mortgagefindersnetwork.com so that they can help you find that mortgage that perfectly suite your needs and budget.


Blogger Templates: Remove the NavBar

Blogger Templates: Remove the NavBar

If you've been to my blog a few days ago you would have noticed that my blog navbar was a bit placed in the wrong place so I decided to remove it. Good thing for me blogger-templates.blogspot.com existed and my blogging problems were solved. What I like about this site is that they have pictures to go with their detailed instructions so newbies like me who have little knowledge about CSS and HTML programing could blog like pros (well just a teeny weeny bit).

Again my gratitude to blogger-templates.blogspot.com and yes they also have free blogger templates (both CSS & HTML) so why don't you guys check this blog out.

Why Do You Have So Much Money?

Well I don't have that much but my mom asked me why I had so much money. It was actually a pretty weird situation for me because never have I expected my mom to ask me that question. Well I did tell her that much of my money that I have now was from my Nursing Garage Sale, which by the way is a great success!

My profit from my garage sale was a whooping Php 5125 or $125. Well and not to mention my other profit from blogging so yeah, I'm earning quite good. I guess that my summer have been really productive huh? Hehehe.

But still, I do blogging for the fun of it. ^_^

Career Options: Sonography Tech

I'm really serious about my future and right now I've been busy looking for other career paths aside from nursing and I have found another medical career that fits my interest and that's being a Sonography Technician.

So what is the job description? Well you operate and assist in the use of a high-tech ultrasound machines to direct waves to create an image of different parts of the body like the brain, eyes, and abdominal organs. Another interesting moments in a Sonography tech life is that he gets to share with the patients the joy and wonder when they have a video image of a fetus inside a mother's womb. You really get to appreciate God and all his wonders as you observe that fetus grow and mature as the mommy goes for her monthly check-ups.

And the pay is also good (average salary falls between $41,420 and $56,020 per annum) and your sure that you will be in demand since sonography/ultrasound is a standard operating procedure in hospitals so that doctors could easily and safely diagnose a patient's condition.

So if you're like me who is looking for other career paths in the medical field why not check out sonography and visit your nearest sonography schools for more info. And guess what, some universities offer online schooling for those who are working or have part time jobs.
